Eight Faith Estates lots available

It’s been three years in development, but lots at Faith Estates will soon become available for new homes.

Gary and Judy Harkless bought the parcel of land, about halfway between Greeley and Eaton, three years ago and are now marketing eight lots, all of which offer an unobstructed view of the Front Range.

The lots are along Weld County Road 37, about a quarter-mile north of Colo. 392. They are two and a half miles south of Eaton, three miles north of Greeley and eight miles east of Windsor.

Harkless has been in the construction business for 25 years and is a volunteer with the Weld County Sheriff’s Office. He also is the chaplain of the northern Colorado chapter of the Blue Knights International Motorcycle Club.

“Everything we’ve done with this development has been done on faith. That’s how we came up with the name,” Harkless said.

He and his wife have built a $568,000 home in the corner of the new development, which Harkless said is in rural Weld, so property taxes are 3 percent. The lots, which all sit on the hill north of the highway, range in size from 2.5 acres to 3.6 acres and will range in price from $205,000 to $229,000.

“All of them have a spectacular view of the mountains, and unless somebody comes and builds a 30-story apartment complex, that view will never be obstructed,” Harkless said. The chances of such a complex being built, he added, is slim.

The lots are now available for reservation, but Harkless said it would probably be spring before any home construction will be started.

“The road going into the development (off Weld 37) will be paved, but weather restraints will play a big part on when I can get that paved,” he said. All the other roads will also be paved and homes will be built to suit. They will have water from the North Weld County Water District, and walk-out lots are available, Harkless said.
